Why this domain covers Minecraft

This domain carried the Experimental Gameplay Workshop, the session at the Game Developers Conference where developers showed rough prototypes built in days rather than years. Braid, World of Goo and Crayon Physics were all first shown to a room of peers there.

Minecraft started the same way, as one developer testing an idea in public, and it still works that way: every snapshot ships experimental features that may be adopted or dropped. That is what we follow here, alongside the guides, mods and seeds you came for.
